trailing '/' redirects from requested port to port 80 ?

[Rob Hartill <ro...@imdb.com>]

I'm back... for a minute :-)

Is there a config option to tell Apache to perform trailing '/' redirects
on port 80 even though requests are coming in on another port ?.

thanks.

I guess I can do what I want in a relatively clean way with this
simple change:

and then define my default port number in my compile time Configuration.

Let me know if this will be added.

There was a patch somewhere in the bugdb about "UseCanonicalName port" or
somesuch which may be related... my brain swapped all this stuff out to
disk long ago though, and I'm not paging it back in.

I was doing that and it didn't work. I have virtual hosts that have to
be told that their requests come in on port 4000 and they then trigger
Apache to send out the redirects with with :4000 tagged on.

That method works without virtual hosts, but no combination of
configs I tried would let me have working vhosts and working '/'-redirects.

Just use the Port directive.

Use a Listen directive to tell Apache what port to listen on, and a Port
directive to tell it what port to think it is listening on.
